Any chance the letters have already been mailed?

I suppose that's possible, but I'm figuring they go out at the end of the day and so processed at post office on Saturday at earliest. I think Monday/Tuesday is a more likely delivery date. But I'm just guessing like everyone else.

Two years ago they were mailed on a Friday and my child received the letter from one of the magnets Saturday and the other on Monday.

Both yes's? Or no on Monday?

People dispute it, but in the past, people get Acceptances first...

This isn't true. If you look at the other thread about magnet letters arriving, it is clear that people received rejections that first weekend 2 years ago.

So, those who may not receive the mail tomorrow may expect rejection? Do they have to choose super bowl weekend to send this out?

I hate it when people make this statement year after year and send others into a panic. I know people who have received acceptances and rejections on the same day, rejections first followed by an acceptance, acceptance first followed by a rejection, and acceptances on different days. Nothing is guaranteed with the mail system - 2 years ago when letters were mailed on a Friday, some people get their notices until the following Wed or Thurs.

This is OP. It is comforting to see how many other parents are as anxious about this as I am! I'm really hoping my DD gets in, but I'm bracing myself to accept that if she doesn't - the program isn't a right fit for her. We were very disappointed when she didn't get into the HGC (by a long shot), and she's had an incredible experience at her feeder school in compacted math and math Olympiad and participating in the SGA.

No, no, no, no! Every year this happens on this board because of misinformation and people freak out. I guarantee you that when someone on here posts the first acceptance--and who knows, it may be tomorrow, it may be Monday, or even later--everyone who does not receive word on the same day will think they're getting a rejection and it's just not true. The mail is inconsistent.

Oops, I should've read through the whole thread because I see this person just made the same point that I made above.

The mail is inconsistent AND people don't run to DCUM to report rejections, they just don't, it's a biased sample.
